They have no qualms in using swearwords. They rebuke everyone they meet and happy being merciless. However, as a foil to the protagonist, these villains are successful in bringing out the negative shades of human persona. Meet the actors who were nasty and malicious on 70 mm, and managed to make the bad man look so good and appealing.
Rishi Kapoor ('Aurangzeb'): There is no denying the fact that Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor is one of the most versatile actors. Rishi, who kicked off his career as a romantic hero has been successful in transforming himself as Bollywood's most appreciated anti-hero. After winning accolades for playing Rauf Lala in Karan Johar's remake of Agneepath, Rishi again played an intense character in 'Aurangzeb'. His work was such that he managed to outperform the heroes on several counts in 'Aurangzeb'.
Paresh Rawal ('Table No 21'): The actor who have given several moving performance in the past, became everyone's favourite Bollywood tough guy, courtesy 'Table No 21'. When movie buffs went to the cinema halls to watch the film, they were a bit shocked and highly impressed with him. His onscreen persona will always be significant for his unfriendly aura and hard-hitting dialogues.
John Abraham ('Shootout At Wadala'): The actor who played gangster Manya Surve in 'Shootout at Wadala', didn't leave anyone disappointed. As the actor had said the project be career defining film, it did turn out to be the same. Those who adore him for his charm and good looks was happy in flaunting his devious side in the film.
Vivek Oberoi ('Krrish 3'): The actor played the super villain Kaal in Krrish 3 opposite star Hrithik Roshan. The actor who showed courage in opting for a negative role especially when one enjoys an image of a "hero" in Bollywood, made sure the attempt brought him desired results. And the fact that even Hrithik wanted to play Kaal explains the significance it enjoys. It was definitely the most challenging role of the actors' career.
Aamir Khan ('Dhoom 3'): Only an actor of his caliber can prove that a film can be never complete unless there is someone as powerful like him. As the actor had said in his interview earlier, he may not have been as menacing as Amrish Puri. He may not be slaying people, but yes he is powerful enough to scare his foes. The actor's motive to step out of his comfort zone to exploit his potential in 'Dhoom 3' worked in his favour.
